Abstract
This study investigates the crossover of burnout and work engagement among
2,229 Royal Dutch constabulary officers, working in one of 85 teams. The
authors hypothesized that both states may transfer from teams to individual
team members. The results of multilevel analyses confirm this crossover phenomenon
by showing that team-level burnout and work engagement are related
to individual team members’ burnout (i.e., exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced
professional efficacy) and work engagement (vigor, dedication, and absorption),
after controlling for individual members’ job demands and resources. The
implications of these findings for interventions aimed at the promotion of
employee well-being are discussed.
